Anti-censorship campaigners have found a novel way of scaling the Great Firewall of China, printing QR codes on bank notes which when scanned take people to a site where they can download software that bypasses the country's Internet access restrictions.

The notes all had QR codes stamped in the top right hand corner, along with the words "Scan and download software to break the Internet firewall."
